Hancock Invitational
On October 16, the Blue Knights High School Cross Country Team ran in the Hancock Invitational Meet for the first time. The location, Jefferson Barracks Park, was a beautiful course. Some gentle slopes and a long downhill finish allowed those legs to turnover quickly on a cool morning!

The Knights competed in 3 races: Varsity Boys, JV Boys & JV Girls.
- Varsity Boys took 8th of 21 teams. Knights were lead by Adam G. with a time of 17:52.9 (26th). Jacob M., Ethan H., George B., and Alex F. kept the team gap tight allowing for success against many large schools.
- JV Boys were able to run in the small school division and placed a strong 2nd out of 6 teams. Contributing to the team score were Mason T. with a time of 20:08.7 (4th), Nate P. (7th), Nathan S. (9th), Isaac W., and Sam M.
- JV Girls also ran in the small school division and placed 1st out of 3 teams. The Knights took 8 of the top 14 places! Tabby Bryant lead the whole way finishing 1st place out of 40 with a time of 22:30.9. Following Tabby were medal winners Katie M (2nd), Anya S (3rd), Laura B (7th), Maddie D (11th), Sophia N. (12th), Hannah G (13th), and Daniella H (14th).
